Gazette reader Michael Malgorzata came across this giant jellyfish, the ‘Lion’s Mane’ jellyfish, at the weekend on Tolsta beach.

Michael warns: “Anybody who finds such a jellyfish should not touch it, as they can give a nasty sting, and in some cases cause an anaphylactic shock, and the sting is retained for a long time even after the jellyfish has died.”
